  • Morning everyone :)
    Great pics Chicky the beach huts are fab.
    Have good holiday BL sounds wonderful.
    Grey & overcast here with just the finest of misty rain coming off the sea in the breeze but much warmer start than the last few days.
    Another day in the garden I think after a few early chores.

    Lazy tart  :D
    She's a lot better thanks Dove. She was sent home from work on Saturday, but hopefully is well enough not to infect any customers....
    A beach hut would be so much nicer than a shed. I don't have room here for both, unfortunately.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    @Fairygirl ,I'd love one of those on wheels down by the lake and some gorgeous young men to wheel it in and out. I'm very modest you know. o:)

    Paint your shed in beachy shades FG.   Great photos Chicky but how could you go to Cromer and not eat crab?  I'd have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

    Good morning.  Bright and sunny but very fresh this morning so long sleeves!  OH and friends are just getting back from walking the dogs and then a lazy, pottering sort of morning followed by beach expedition with dogs this pm.  Lots of fun and chat yesterday evening so no plastics programme.

    It's good that you have your b'day treat to look forward to while you adjust to the other news Pdoc.  If we can help, chat away.  If not, we understand.   Lots of positive waves either way.

    Good that the tree has gone Hosta.  Maybe you need to think about lights in the PT for the dark mornings.

    Hope everyone is well and the lurgies aren't getting to you.  Mine is lurking which is irritating but manageable.

    I was thinking of installing electrics and a tap in the tunnels.
    A good winter project methinks.

    I find  with beach-type colours in low northern light levels that they don’t reflect the light the way the same colours do in higher light levels and just end up looking a bit sad ... it can work better where there’s lots of reflected light as with the harbour side at Tobermory ... but not  elsewhere IME.

    I totally agree. There are some houses painted pale blue around here and they look awful in Winter.
